Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0118641A1] A proximity-oriented redirection system for service-to-client attachment in a virtual overlay distribution network (300). The virtual overlay distribution network (300) includes addressable routers (R1-R6) for routing packet traffic, wherein a packet of data is routed from a source node (C1) to a destination node (C2) based on address fields of the packet. The invention includes a redirector (S1, S2) coupled to at least one of the addressable routers (R3, R4) and includes: logic for accepting a service request from a client (312); logic for determining a selected server for handling the service request, the selected server being one of a plurality of servers that can handle the service request; and logic for generating a redirection message directed to the client for redirecting the service request to the selected server.
